Advocate IIThanks Dale :)
I will watch the video on how to use the Hadoop connector, my first experience was that it was not intuitive, the server they ask for could be one of a few types as there are different ways to connect to Hadoop and ask for data, we just happen to use Knox

I guess the URL would need to be different, at least the server and port parts and I dont know what they would need to be
Can you elaborate on how to connect directly?
